Jungfrau Mountain

Swiss Alps Sweden Optional+ SF 127.00

A fabulous trip on the highest cog railway in the world up the Jungfrau Mountain, which rises to 4,158m (13,600ft). Travel through 7kms (4.2 miles) of tunnel and stop for grand views from the plate glass windows - literally in the North Face of the Eiger Mountain. The journey ends at Jungfraujoch - 3,454m (11,300ft) above sea level with impressive views from the highest railway station and post office in the world! Whatever the time of year, the scenery is fabulous and there's even the opportunity to ski (at a small charge and weather permitting).

Stanserhorn

by – Matt Vernick, Tour Manager, Europe The Stanserhorn is easily one of my favorite excursion in the whole of Europe! The thing I love most about this optional excursion, and what sets it appart from the other Swiss mountain optional excursions offered by Contiki, is that you take a train AND a cable car to the top of the mountain. You feel very Swiss taking the 15 minute or so train... more »

The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
